The King’s Game-Chapter 118 - [Heart Of Machinery VIII]

Chapter 118 – [Heart Of Machinery VIII]

Seeing that the young man actually took the initiative to approach their commander, the three N1 humanoid machines, including the herald, immediately hoisted their hearts high, and even moved their fingers, which were lying quietly

And the next second, the scene they saw made the three mechanical creatures even more shocked. Although they didn’t show it on their faces, they were all reflexively frozen.

A dark blade was placed against the young man’s neck by its owner. The shape of the blade was unexpectedly somewhat similar to that of tangdao. The dark blade had a cold texture common to cold weapons.

This blade was not usual, as could be seen from the magical energy it emitted.

“It is not suitable to shed blood on the Full Moon Festival.” With a cold voice and a straight face, Noah removed the dark blade from the young man’s neck and withdrew the cold weapon into space.

The three human-shaped machines that had been frozen from a moment ago were finally able to move a little. They felt relieved and could not help echoing: “Yes, yes… It is not appropriate to see blood with such an important ceremony in the near future, or it would be unlucky.”

What was a Full Moon Festival… The three humanoid mechanical creatures echoed first and then secretly searched their own databases. They found the information related to the Full Moon Sacrifice and quickly read it.

The important annual celebration of human beings meant to welcome the new year. Humans would pray to the gods for good omens and so on. Simply put, it was to seek psychological comfort.

In general, during the month when the Full Moon Festival was held, people would stop fighting and try to create a harmonious environment for the festival.

Calculating the time, the Full Moon Festival was in five days.

Just returning from the elves’ territory, the three humanoid machines present were still responding to their commander’s words with jumping hearts, although they did not understand why they did so.

“So… are we going to lock him up first?” Serge just asked this sentence of the cold figure in front of him, and he added immediately: “After all these years, underground cells should … definitely be useless, or we can lock him in the palace. It is more difficult for him to escape if he is kept in front of our eyes. What do you think, Commander? “

“Even if the cell can be used, if he stays in a place like that, he has the possibility of getting sick, and it is not impossible to die from serious weakness. In order to celebrate the full moon, the city should avoid casualties, so this subordinate also agrees with Serge’s proposal.” Ansel said this without his face changing. He felt that he made a very reasonable statement. He convinced himself.

The solemn herald looked at his two companions first, then glanced at the nearby human youth very quickly. He said, “There are still many empty rooms in the palace. It is safer to keep him under your nose. It is possible for him to be rescued secretly by other living beings in the dungeons. Therefore, your subordinate seconds the proposal of Serge Qing.”

The three parties jointly proposed. The final creation, who held the decision-making power, only lifted his eyes lightly. The impassive pale golden eyes reflected the figures of all present, and remained expressionless: “This kind of thing, you don’t need to ask me.”

The subtext was an agreement. Serge grasped this point. After the cold figure left, he discussed it with his two colleagues nearby.

After picking and choosing on the imperial palace map and taking all factors into account, the three humanoid mechanical creatures finally used the simplest and roughest selection criteria…

They chose the largest room in the palace for the youth.

Leaving behind a batch of N2 mechanical creatures to guard the palace, Serge said seriously to the youth before leaving: “Don’t try to escape, or the consequences will be very serious.”

“What are the consequences?” Just as the former stopped talking, Gu Huai asked.

“…” Serge was dumbfounded by the youth’s unexpected question. After a while, he hurriedly replied: “The consequence is that you will be caught and kept locked up, and the guard will be increased by several folds.”

“Mmm.” Gu Huai nodded his head to the other. A normal person should be worried or angry when being detained but his eyes even showed a smile.

“Du, Du …” Listening to the conversation between two people, the R-03 robot beside the young man held the young man on his arm during the conversation, and then its electronic eyes with sky blue light quietly watched on the humanoid machine in front.

This was a new type of robot, was their own kind, was also a butcher who destroyed human beings. But at this time, looking at the N1 robots, they did not detect any hostility towards the youth for the time being.

The layout of the room was very comfortable. The big bed was especially comfortable. Gu Huai was now lying on it, talking with his system.

“It is inappropriate to see blood on a full moon. Normally, would Noah consider this?” After rolling around, Gu Huai practically wrapped himself entirely in the silk bed sheets and became a silkworm baby. He discussed this problem with his system.

Hearing his name from the youth’s mouth, the system was silent for a moment, then it responded: “No.”

If this were really considered, the other would not have sent his troops to the elves before.

“Mmm.” Silkworm baby Gu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled a little. “So he was just looking for a reason not to kill me.”

In a slight bent posture, Gu Huai raised his hand and touched his neck.

At that time, if it was his intention to behead him, even if there was only one thought, the other party wouldn’t put the blade so lightly beside his neck. He should have been beheaded by the other before he realized it.

And when the other side made this move, it looked more like it was to show others.

“Ah Huai, still be careful.” Hesitating for a long time, although the system did not contradict the youth, it said this sentence.

The world’s ‘Noah’ did not recognize the youth. This was obviously the interference of the enemy. The system was not sure how deep the influence of the enemy’s interference would be, how much Noah had changed, etc.

“Do you want me to be careful of you?” Gu Huai asked.

System: “…”

Wrapped in a smooth silk quilt, Gu Huai rubbed his pillow and then slightly smiled. “It’s okay. Although he doesn’t know me, that doesn’t mean he won’t like me.”

Even if the other had no memory of him or even any feeling of familiarity with him, Gu Huai had enough confidence from the fact that the other failed to cut his head off.

“In another direction, maybe the world’s Chu Chu will be especially lovely, don’t worry about me.” Gu Huai touched his chin and soothed his system lightly.

Seeing the faint smile on the youth’s face, the system involuntarily acquiesced to the other’s statement and gave a low response.

After leading the youth to the palace, Serge returned to the place where he had previously met his commander. He still had something to report and needed to be punished accordingly.

“The subordinate has not completed the task you have given him this time and is willing to accept any punishment. Please give an order.” Serge half-knelt in front of the cold figure ahead and lowered his head.

Although he did what he thought was right, bringing the youth back to the royal city from the battlefield had priority over destroying the tree of life of the elves, his mission was a failure and it went wrong, Serge would not deny this.

The army composed of mechanical creatures were disciplined several times more severely than an army composed of normal organisms. If a task was failed, they would have to bear the corresponding consequences, regardless of the reason for failure.

Scared by the icy sight from above, Serge lowered his head more and more. Just as the herald next to him wanted to open his mouth to help reduce the punishment as much as possible, they heard a cold voice, “Deprive him of energy for five months.”

…… Ha?

The expressions of Serge and the herald both became somewhat subtle. Did they mishear or was the other wrong?

“Commander, you mean five months… not fifty months?” Serge couldn’t help asking one more question, but even after 50 months, it still wouldn’t hurt him.

The energy core of these N-type robots was not an ordinary magic stone. If they only operated normally without fierce fighting, there was basically no need to supply energy. In particular, the N1 type of robot would only consume faster if it randomly cast forbidden spells as before.

When he felt the familiar cold sight again, Serge quickly changed his words to say: “Yes, this subordinate understood, five months.”

After receiving this incredibly light punishment, Serge stood up from his half kneeling position, looked at the messenger next to him first, and then carefully inquired: “This subordinate locked the human in the palace diagonally opposite the astrology table. The room has been uninhabited for a long time. Before the human youth was locked in, the subordinate had the layout changed, but it was still relatively crude at present… considering that the prisoner should not be mistreated, should the subordinate decorate the inside?”

“I have already said that this kind of thing, you don’t need to ask me.” Noah’s eyelids drooped slightly. After a while, he said coldly, “Isn’t there enough in the treasure house for you to decorate the palace?”

What, he could use the treasures to decorate? Catching this potential message from his commander’s words, Serge decided to reply first: “Enough, enough… of course, enough.”

Having ordered several things in succession, Serge excitedly took this permission to the treasure house of the palace, which was filled with all the treasures of the human race and, of course, the loot they had plundered from other races.

How to arrange it, well… It was shameful to mistreat prisoners. Besides, the Full Moon Festival was a grand festival. They should arrange the palace and other things more elaborately.

A day passed quickly. Today many things had happened. Gu Huai actually fell asleep quickly when he was lying in bed.

One of the windows in the palace was open, and the quiet and cold moonlight poured in. The city, which was occupied by mechanical creatures, was also quite quiet at night.

The youth was sleeping soundly, surrounded by more than a dozen old models of mechanical creatures, while around the palace were a group of N2 robots that were also not humanoid.

Rather than being guards of a prisoner, the N2 robots guarding the palace somehow looked more like guards protecting a treasure. They sometimes moved their eyes toward the palace, as if they wanted to look at something.

On this quiet night, a shadow silently appeared in the heavily guarded palace.

The infiltrator’s ability was too strong to be detected by the N2-type robots guarding him, while the old-type robots’ energy systems were temporarily interfered with by the other’s ability.

Pale golden eyes clearly reflected the figure of the young man on the bed. The owner of those eyes’ face was expressionless, maintaining his cold look. Noah approached the edge of the bed.

Why did he not behead the other? Confused by this problem, Noah gently lowered his eyelids and stretched out his hand to touch the neck of the sleeping youth.

The pale blue blood vessel had a pulse and was very stable, but after all, such a vivid life was very fragile. All living things were equally vulnerable, as long as he…

“Oh, Chu Chu…” Just then, the young man spoke in a low, inaudible voice and turned over, reaching for what he could touch.

His clothes were caught by the young man, and he heard the young man talking in a low voice. The cold humanoid weapon froze slightly.

He did not push away the young man’s hand, nor did he move. Before dawn, he forgot what he actually wanted to do. The humanoid weapon silently let the sleeping young man grab him.

It was not until the young man showed signs of waking up that Noah left the palace quickly and expressionless.
